Chapter 909: Liu Xing with Multiple Personalities |
Liu Xing once went to a mental hospital in Rongcheng for some business, and Liu Xing had a friend who worked there, specifically responsible for guiding patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder to integrate all the personalities within them.
Under normal circumstances, integrating personalities, although requiring a lot of time and effort, has a high success rate in the end. After all, those additional personalities are split from the Primary Personality, and they appear to help the Primary Personality through difficult times. Therefore, as long as the doctor operates properly, they can "persuade" those additional personalities to integrate with the Primary Personality.
However, there are always exceptions. Some patients with schizophrenia fall ill when subjected to bullying and other violent treatment in school, so the first Additional Personality they produce often appears with a mindset of fighting violence with violence. Therefore, this Additional Personality's character will be very bad, and its self-awareness will become increasingly strong. Eventually, this Additional Personality is likely to usurp the nest, as the weak Primary Personality does not dare to resist him.
With his friend's consent, Liu Xing watched a treatment process through a surveillance camera, and the patient with Dissociative Identity Disorder being treated was occupied by a violent Additional Personality, even suppressing the Primary Personality so that it did not dare to come out.
During the treatment, the Additional Personality criticized the Primary Personality as worthless, thinking that his control of the body was a waste of resources. After a few words, Liu Xing almost felt that he was reasonable.
However, he was just an Additional Personality, so the doctor's treatment goal was still to restore the Primary Personality's control over the body and integrate other personalities to help them return to society for a normal life.
Unfortunately, Liu Xing's friend was not persuaded by that Additional Personality, but he also failed to persuade the Additional Personality to bring out the Primary Personality.
When leaving the mental hospital, Liu Xing remembered his friend saying to him, "Because personalities do not share memories, the Primary Personality of that patient just now does not know what happened to him, how he suddenly went from school to the hospital... Moreover, I think the Primary Personality of that patient may have already fallen asleep."
Some patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder lack family care and friends' companionship for various reasons in childhood, so they create one or even multiple peer personalities to play with themselves in extreme loneliness. These Additional Personalities' minds almost do not change with age, so this type of personality will gradually fall asleep after the Primary Personality grows up, as the Primary Personality no longer plays with these "children."
Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly began to suspect that his character card might really have Dissociative Identity Disorder, so he lacked impressions of many things, and the video of himself did not look like he was sleepwalking.
But if it is true as Yin En said, the "self" in the video was using the arrangement of cans to talk to "himself," then doesn't that mean there are at least two personalities in his body?
Thinking about it is quite exciting...
However, speaking of personalities, Liu Xing suddenly remembered "Liu Xing."
Perhaps for "Liu Xing," he is the Additional Personality that usurped the nest.
So the players in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall should all be considered to have Dissociative Identity Disorder because when the players are in the module, the character card's Haruto personality must obediently give way.
Then where did the other personality in his body come from? Could it be because of that embroidered shoe, which made the "self" in the dream become an additional personality? After all, although the "self" in the dream was controlled by himself, "he" lived a completely different life, so forming a new Additional Personality seems quite normal?
Liu Xing suddenly felt a mess in his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
So Liu Xing shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "I think this might just be a simple sleepwalking, after all, people can do anything in their sleepwalking videos."
Seeing Liu Xing, the person involved, say this, Yin En and others understood and did not dwell on this matter.
Shima Mitsuhiro also sensibly turned off the projector.
After returning to his room, Liu Xing started Private Room time and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, my character card might already have Dissociative Identity Disorder, also known as multiple personalities, and I should have two more personalities. The first personality is the original personality of our character card, responsible for all activities of the character card when we are not in the module."
At this time, Zhang Jingxu interrupted, "I heard that some players write some messy information on their mobile phones or paper before leaving the module, trying to see if their character card would think they have multiple personalities. It turns out that the character card's Haruto personality does not react to this because they think it is just something they wrote randomly when they were bored. This should be a small trick by the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall to prevent the character card from awakening."
Liu Xing nodded and smiled, "Yes, I think so too. However, when a second Additional Personality appears in my body, the character card's Haruto personality is likely to be led astray by this second Additional Personality."
"Oh? I remember reading in a book that it is difficult for normal adults to develop Dissociative Identity Disorder under normal circumstances because normal adults do not think of creating a new personality to share the pressure when encountering a little difficulty. Even when facing a mountain that cannot be overcome, they would decisively give up or jump off. So where did your second Additional Personality come from?" Yin En asked in confusion.
Liu Xing shrugged, pointed to his shoes, and said, "Nine times out of ten, it is because of that embroidered shoe, because I remembered that the embroidered shoe made me participate in a module in my dream, and in that module, I did not know I was running a group from beginning to end. Even now, I do not know if that module has ended, so I suspect that the 'self' in the dream became a new Additional Personality and reached a consensus with the character card's Haruto personality in my subconscious. They decided to start causing trouble."
"Because different personalities do not share their memories when controlling the body, they used those canned peaches in the supermarket to communicate. After all, my Primary Personality is too strong for them, and there is also the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall covering me, so they may not be able to seize control of my body and cannot communicate in my mind... Now I remember some fragments of that dream. I should have been in ancient China for that dream module, and the reading order of ancient people is just the opposite of ours."
"Yes, this is why you, Liu Xing, arranged the cans from head to tail and from tail to head when sleepwalking. This fits the reason why you have a modern personality and an ancient personality in your body," Ding Kun said.
Liu Xing sighed, shrugged, and said, "What I am worried about now is that I have not completed the mission brought by that embroidered shoe, or I have only completed the dream stage mission, and the real-world stage mission is likely related to these two personalities planning to cause trouble... But I have no clue about this now..."
Seeing Liu Xing's depressed face, Yin En suggested, "How about I ask Sawada Yinyin to find a way to burn that embroidered shoe? Maybe that is the mission you need to complete?"
"Yin En, don't forget, that embroidered shoe can move instantly by itself, so if it runs away, it will be difficult to handle. Therefore, we must find more clues to determine the current situation. However, I have already sent the video of Liu Xing arranging the cans to my friend. He should be able to crack those can codes now. After all, Chinese characters have been passed down to this day, and the two personalities in Liu Xing's body use Chinese characters, just with different fonts. So the same code corresponds to the same character. By summarizing the occurrence frequency and position of those single codes, we can quickly parse the meaning of the entire code," Zhang Jingxu said seriously.
So now, all Liu Xing and the others could do was wait.
Seeing the atmosphere a bit gloomy, Liu Xing smiled and said, "Let's not think too much about it now. This might not be a bad thing. Let's play mahjong together."
There's nothing that can't be solved by playing mahjong. If it doesn't work, then play for a few more days.
After playing mahjong for more than an hour, Zhang Jingxu's mobile phone suddenly rang.
Zhang Jingxu glanced at the mobile phone and said with a smile, "As we thought, my friend has already discovered the pattern of those canned passwords and has cracked some of the frequently appearing characters and words. Now, they are using these deciphered characters and words to determine the combination pattern of those passwords. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to completely crack these passwords by tomorrow."
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as he knew what the two personalities inside him were talking about, he would know how to deal with it next.
But speaking of which, this experience of outsmarting "himself" is really interesting.
A few minutes later, Zhang Wenbing suddenly frowned and said, "Liu Xing, do you remember the things in England?"
England?
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, not knowing why Zhang Wenbing suddenly mentioned England.
But seeing Zhang Wenbing's serious look, Liu Xing realized what Zhang Wenbing meant.
In "Liu Xing's" mind, he only remembered going to England twice. The first time was as a fan to watch a Manchester United match, and then he officially started his "new life" after entering Eins Castle.
As for the second time he went to England, "he" was under the control of Yis People Ithaqua.
Of course, Yis People Ithaqua actively blocked "Liu Xing's" memory when returning to the past time in England, so "Liu Xing" didn't remember going to England those few times.
Back to the point, Liu Xing knew that Zhang Wenbing was hinting that Yis People Ithaqua might not be completely gone!
Or rather, Yis People Ithaqua had already become an additional personality of "himself."
This is also very possible because, with the technology of Yis People, it is indeed possible to do this.
If this is really the case, then this matter is quite interesting.
Liu Xing subconsciously touched the back of his head, wondering if the personalities in his mind could make up a mahjong table.
However, Liu Xing was not too worried about this because he knew that the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall didn't have so many bugs, so it would be very difficult for the personalities in his mind to compete with him for control of his body. After all, he was a person from the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall.
So Liu Xing nodded slightly to show Zhang Wenbing that he understood, and then continued to play mahjong happily.
As a person from Shudu, Liu Xing grew up watching his parents play mahjong... Although he occasionally played with family and friends since junior high school, his mahjong skills had not improved at all over the years.
Soon it was evening, and after Liu Xing and the others finished dinner in the restaurant, they prepared to go back to their rooms.
"Liu Xing, to prevent you from sleepwalking tonight, how about we tie you to the bed?" Yin En said with a sinister smile.
"No need, thank you, goodbye."
Liu Xing immediately refused Yin En's proposal because he knew that Yin En was planning to trick him, such as tying him to the bed for a day or something.
At this time, Ding Kun took out a few thumb-sized black boxes and said, "It's not that troublesome. I got a few infrared alarms from Shima Mitsuhiro. As long as these small boxes are installed at Liu Xing's door, the alarm will be triggered when Liu Xing leaves the room while sleepwalking, and Liu Xing should be scared awake."
"Brother Zhang, are you trying to scare me to death? You should know that waking someone up randomly while sleepwalking can easily cause problems." Liu Xing said with a look of horror.
At this time, Ding Kun smiled and said, "In that case, Zhang Wenbing, you can connect the alarm to my room. I will ensure Liu Xing's safety while sleepwalking."
Liu Xing nodded and said, "Brother Ding is indeed the most reliable."
So, an infrared alarm system was installed at Liu Xing's door.
